Add Facebook Like and Send buttons in your WordPress posts or pages. If the user is already logged into Facebook, the plugin display profile photos below the button of a user’s friends who have liked the URL specified.
In addition, this plugin adds Facebook Open Graph Meta Data in your WordPress site to show the right thumbnail image, or the right title and description.
By adding Open Graph Meta tags together with the Facebook Like and Send buttons, you can get better control over how your content is displayed on Facebook.
This plugin can be the single most important factor in making your article go viral on Facebook.
Current Version: 1.3.1
Hey. Great plugin but how do i make it show allso on the lists of posts?
Hi
Thank you for this plugin!
I have two pages on my personal facebook account. The plugin is linking to the wrong page in the window in the “Find us on Facebook” module. How could I change it to the other page?
Thank you for the patience with this newbie.
Regards..
Hi niraj, this plugin don’t have the “Find us on Facebook” module.
Thanks for your response. When I turn off your plugin that module disappears as well. Hmm…wonder where it’s coming from??
Great little plugin. How can I get it to show up on my front page. It only shows up on my posts. But my front page is the latest post.
Hi Matt.. as of now the button will only display on article pages. I will consider adding an option to show up on the homepage as well on the next release.
I have notices I am getting a odd bit of code showing up when someone likes my post. It looks like this:
[caption id=
There is no other information about the post in the facebook link. Any ideas?
That code is the caption of the image embed on the post. it shows up when the image is place before the text in the paragraph.
So they does the code show up in my facebook post? Shouldn’t the caption show up instead of the code itself?
I’ll be releasing a plugin update tomorrow pm..
Great! and it will deal with this issue?
Yes it will. Just updated the plugin and waiting for the repository refresh…
Many thanks for this fresh and great plugin! Simple, clean and effective!
I have only one question: is it possible to change the placement of the button inside the post (e.g. via shordcode or specific php code change in the plugin file editor)? I have a related posts plugin too and now the like button is after the related post’s list, but it would be more relevant rigth after the post, before the related posts list. In addtition.
best regards, Gabor
Hi Gabor.. you need to set a higher priority for the filter or action of the plugins that should run last, and a lower value to run first..
The third argument sets the priority of the filter or action.

Also, I see you don’ t have any avatars showing. How canI configure the plugin to hide the FB avatars as well?
In the plugin file, just make the show_faces=”true” to “false”
I did that but it still shows up.
Hi matt, did you make it like this? show_faces=”false”
Hi, I have been having a problem with getting the facebook like and send buttons to show on my site. I installed codes from facebook with no success.
I just installed you plugin as well with no success. I am perplexed on why this is so. Could it be my browsers or my computer?
Will really appreciate any help
Regards
Gbenga
Hi Dr Gbenga, the buttons is in your site and I think it’s working fine. Maybe you can try clearing cache and cookies.
Hello Marvie,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I am quite perplexed on what is the problem. I am still unable to view the buttons. I have updated the java (JRE ver 6 upate 31) on my system, tried disabling all addons in mozilla, cleared cookies and cache as you suggested in all the browsers I have (mozilla, explorer 9, and chrome. All the no avail.
I even tried to see the one on developers.facebook.com but i cant see the send button there as well.
I guess the problem must be with my computer or browsers or software somewhere.
It’s quite a strange one
Hi , great plugin
Is there a way to “see” who is liking your posts?
I can see for example —–2 friends (with avatar) and 40 people like this—–
where can we see a graph or something about those stats and those other 40?
who they are? if possible.
Hi Johan, as of now the plugin don’t have a tracking feature. But I’ll consider to integrate the Google Analytics social tracking in the coming updates.
Hi!
I have some strange issue – every Like on my page shows on Facebook in ‘last activity’, not in open way. And I do have images with my posts though.
Can you help me step by step what should I do to works it correctly?
Is it possible to exclude some posts or pages?
(for example contact form page)
Exclude buttons in pages has been added in version 1.3
Hi. The plugin shows something like “One like. Sign up to see what your friends like.” I click on the “Sign up” link, and it takes me to my own Facebook page (I am already logged in). But it doesn’t show me the faces of who else likes the post. How do I see the faces/identities of who else likes the post?
Thanks!
Hi KB, you can only see the names of your friends who Like a page. Others will simply show up as a number.
Hello, to follow up on my previous post and your reply, I get different results in Internet Explorer and Firefox. In Internet Explorer, it says “[Name of Friend] and 5 other people like this.” But in Firefox it says “Sign up to see what your friends like.” So why would the plugin show different results in Internet Explorer and Firefox?
Obviously I am signed in to my Facebook account, because Internet Explorer is showing “[Name of Friend] likes this post.” Why not Firefox?
Thanks for your advice!
Kevin
Hi Kevin, you need to be login to Facebook on both browsers. If you’re already login on both and still seeing “Sign up to see what your friends like.” in FF, maybe you have unchecked the ‘Accept third-party cookies’ option in Firefox Privacy settings.
Hmmmm, I am signed in to Facebook on both IE and Firefox. I checked to make sure the “accept third-party cookies” in Firefox privacy settings was indeed checked, and I still get the same result. IE says “[Name of friend] and 5 others like this post.” Firefox says “6 people like this post. Sign in to see what your friends like.”
Clicking the “Sign in” link in the plugin text takes me not to any sign-in page, but instead to my own Facebook page. So, it’s obviously connected to my Facebook account, but why would the plugin display differently in IE and Firefox?
Just to test whether it was some other plug-in issue in Firefox, I disabled all plug-ins in Firefox, and still the same result.
Thanks for your time and continuing help!
Going to look at whether “accept third party cookies” was checked in Firefox privacy settings led me to discover a different Firefox plugin that was preventing me from connecting your plugin to Facebook. My problem is solved. Again, thanks for your time and help!!
how can I disable the plugin on individual pages? Or all pages if necessary?
You have to modify the plugin code (not recommended) to not do certain things based on Conditional Tags
can i just hide them on a few pages through css or something instead? I only need to hide it on like 5-7 pages
like Home and contact, etc…
This feature has been added in version 1.3
hi how do i make this plugin only show on 1 selected page
thanks
Hi robert, please refer to my comment to Jeffrey Posner here
Hey there! My plugin seems not to be working – every time someone likes with the button, the button “resets” and doesn’t register any likes.
http://www.beatspit.com/
Could you please check it out for me? The plugin looks very nice, and I’d love to get it working !
Hi tatiana, it seems that you’ve deactivated or uninstall the plugin, I can’t see any output from the plugin in the source. I won’t be able to check it if its not installed.
Hi; Just installed your app and like it. However the buttons are not showing up after all of the posts.
A couple per page aremissing, please help. Thanks, Gary
Hi Gary, I visited your website, checked the plugin and it’s working.
I started using your plugin v1.2.5 a month ago when a different one quit working. It seemed fine until today, when I saw that only the first post on a page shows the Like and Send buttons and count. Previously the buttons and stats showed on all posts. If I click another Blog Category on the right, those pages also show the buttons on the first post on a page, but not on the rest of the posts. Is there a fix for this? I haven’t made any changes in WordPress.
Hi Alan, the buttons are showing on all posts again. Maybe it’s just a glitch from Facebook.
So they are! Odd that it could happen that way. Thanks for checking.
I have installed the plugin at at client site, and it work like a charm
Thanks, great work Marvie
For some reason, this plugin does not work in IE10, even in compatibility mode. Tried same site in Chrome and in IE10 and it works in chrome but not in IE10 (clicking recommend opens a new window which facebook tries to close…doesn’t show the fields to comment and recommend).
Hi Brad …Perhaps your IE10 privacy setting in internet options is set to ‘Block third-party cookies”. Sometimes changing this setting to ‘Accept third-party cookies’ fix this FB bug…
Hi,
My blog is in German, but the plugin english. On the Button: “Like”. How can I change it into german?
Thanks
This feature has been added in version 1.3.1
The like button is nice, but I cannot figure out WHO liked me, so its kind of useless.
How do I figure out WHO liked me?
Thanks.
Hi Dvora …you can only see the names of your friends who Like a post. Others will simply show up as a number.
Hi Marvie,
Just wondering how to delete one of the plugins. I’ve only installed once but seems to be two of your facebook likes on the bottom of the page.
Can you please advise?
Thanks
What is your site url, so I can check it?
Hi, how to localization the Like button?
Hi Claudio, the plugin is not yet ready for translation. We’ll consider making it translation ready on our next release.
I typed in the pages that I DIDN’T want the like/send buttons appearing on, but it’s not working. I have version1.3 and I see the list of pages typed into the box on the settings page for the plug-in, but it still shows up on my site. Any way to fix this?
Hi Lauren … did you type in the pages IDs or pages name?
hey, i want to change the picture and the text inside the facebook box after you liked the page. How can i do that?
Hi Zara …The image that is used for sharing is taken from Facebook Open Graph Meta Data added by the plugin. It checks if the post has a specified thumbnail, if there is none, then it search post for images and display first one. If none exists, then it will show the default url you specified in the plugin's option page.
The plugin uses an excerpt of the post text. If you do not provide an excerpt to a post in the post editor's optional excerpt field, it will display an automatic excerpt which refers to the first 160 characters of the post's content.
Hi there – thanks for your plugin! If people who are logged in to facebook click "like" but do not follow through with the "post to facebook" it still keeps the like on my blog, does it show that they liked it on facebook even if they didn't necessarily post it?
@Tamzin …yes.
The plugin doesn't show when mobile is detected. The themes switch for mobile… but the page content is the same. Any ideas?
Hi jefferis, Be sure your mobile theme is not missing the_content WordPress hook.
